The PAC5250 belongs to Active-Semi’s Power Application Controller® (PAC®) family. The PAC® family of products are highly-optimized SOC devices that can implement BLDC or PMSM programmable motor controller and driver in a single integrated IC. The PAC5250 integrates a FLASH-based MCU, Power Management, High-side and low-side Gate Drivers and Signal-Conditioning components in a single product. The PAC5250 is optimized for AC-Powered BLDC or PMSM motor control applications such as AC-powered fans, white goods or compressors. The PAC5250 contains a 50MHz Arm® Cortex®-M0 with 32kB of FLASH that can be used to implement high-performance motor control and supervisory applications. The MCU also contains motor control peripherals such as 10b 1MSPS dual auto-sequencer ADC, PWM timers with hardware dead-time insertion, etc. The Multi-Mode Power Manager™ (MMPM) contains a Flyback DC/DC controller and power management components for powering the IC and other PCB system power supplies. The Application-Specific Power Drivers™ provide integrated gate drivers for use with an external inverter. The Configurable Analog Front-End™ (CAFE) provides signal-chain components such as differential and single-end amplifiers, comparators and DACs.

Supporting Evaluation Tools
The ET-UARTSWD adapter is the preferred adapter for evaluation of PAC® devices/firmware and combines a USB to UART adapter with SWD debugger connector adaptation into a single board with isolation. The ET-UARTISO-1 adapter provides only the USB to UART adapter with isolation for Active-Semi application GUI communications.
ET-UARTSWD
 |
The ET-UARTSWD isolated communications and debugging interface unifies two modules into one. Previously, interfacing a PC Computer to any of Active-Semi’s PAC5xxx Evaluation Modules required one module to enable UART based serial communications and a second module to allow for in-system debugging and FLASH memory programing. | |
